Oh during my first two years of high school I did pretty bad with my science classes,will that hurt me down the road? If so what can I do to increase my chances of finishing high school with a strong solid G.P.A? I really love nursing and your videos inspire and motivate me to achieve my dreams and for that I really do thank you😄

You can find it on my website! Just so you know, it is a digital program & I set it to a pay what you want/can mode.

Hello. I need advice. I am not good at math at all and I was placed in Chemistry for this school year. (I'm a sophmore btw) My guidance counselor told me she could put me into physical science and I could take chemistry next year. In my senior year I was planning on taking anatomy and physiology. Should i take physical science this year, chem junior year and anatomy and physiology senior year since i struggle so much with math. Or should i take chemistry this year. Also if u dont take any ap science classes can u get into a nursing program?

@Islam4ever2006 5 жыл бұрын

If you don't take them in high school, you'll need to take pre-nursing to get the prerequisites done (for an associates degree). Then you'll move on to nursing BA, etc. Don't overly stress yourself out. Take what you can handle and push yourself more but not to the point you can't focus. Perhaps you'll need to put in more effort with tutoring, maybe YT videos by real instructors (that's helped me out). If you don't get it all in within high school, know you have options in college too. Just you might have to do the prereqs. Also, visit a college of your choice and ask them. They'll be happy to help you out as well. Best of luck!

Hi Caroline! My name is Emily and I have recently discovered my passion for nursing! I am a high school student and I volunteer in my local hospital in multiple units and I absolutely love it! I had a few questions about what I could do to get myself ahead in the nursing process! I have watched your videos for high school students and I have been doing everything you mentioned, but I still have a few questions! Would it be helpful for me to take a class at my local community college while I am still in high school to become a Certified Nursing Assistant? I have heard that this was one way I could get ahead, but I didn’t know if it was practical or worth it for me to do! Also, would it be beneficial to intern at my hospital instead of just volunteering? I didn't know if it would make any difference! Thank you so much and I absolutely LOVE your videos! They make me so excited to become a nurse! Sincerely, Emily

Hi I'm in my final year of high school. I have a 4.0 GPA but I'm still undecided yet on what I really want to do but nursing in on my top list. What if you took Chemistry, physics and biology; do you still have to take the Aps. Math isn't really my subject, I pretty do well and have a passing grade in them. I haven't taken Geometry, is it require? I'm taking psychology this semester. I will taking the SAT and ACT this fall. I don't know if I'm confuse or scared from what I heard from people in the nursing field. I like the profession and what they do.

I wanna be a pediatric register nurse and I stress all the time and worry I won't be good enough or smart enough to get into A nursing school. I passed algreba with an A and algrebra 2 with one A and one C alos I passed biology with an B.Now I am in chemistry and I am really struggling. My.teacher really doesn't explain things a lot and even when I am trying my best I still got an D for the semester and I am so scared that now I won't he able to get into nursing school because of that grade and because I am not to well at chemistry so I think what I am trying to say is do you have to be extremely good at chemistry to be a nurse and does that ruin my changes at being a nurse?

Do you recommend becoming a CNA before becoming an RN or achieving a BSN? I was thinking about becoming a CNA after I graduate high-school so I can gain experience and work as a CNA whilst in nursing school. Or is becoming a CNA before unnecessary?

@eatme8571 8 жыл бұрын

*Hey there*! Medical high school depends on which direction you are going for. Obviously, if you are going to be a nurse, then i would *definitely* say that Physics, as a subject, is totally unnecessary to take. Physiotherapists *do need* to take Physics for the very obvious reasons. The angle of some body part etc... If i look back at my high school, i would say that in my freshmen year i've had a lot of *unimportant* subjects to take. Can you guess for which i studied for a long amount of hours? Anatomy and Health Care were my priorities. So, my advice for you would be to take it easy. High school is also not hard at all, at least that's how i look at it from my perspective. Your GPA obviously matter for the school you will be applying for when you graduate from high school, but it's nothing to be obsessed about or over worried. Just take it easy, and try to remember *as much as you can*, especially from subjects like Anatomy and Health Care etc... I hope this helped.

Hi!! I'm now a sophmore in high school and I've been interested in nursing forever! My GPA freshman year was around a 3.4/3.5 (89%) I My biology all around grade was an 83, but I mastered the state exam with an 86. For algebra my overall average was an 84. English has always been my strong suit, but I'm way more interested in math&science. Next year for math I'm taking geometry and for science I'm taking Earth Science. After chemistry junior year, I either want to take Physics or AP bio, but I'm wondering which is better for nursing? And for math senior year I'm wondering whether to take calculus or probably an AP algebra. I'm still trying to figure out what's better for nursing. I'm going to try to get my overall GPA in the 90s this year because I know nursing schools are super competitive.

@insertfirstnamehereinsertl2895 8 жыл бұрын

+Erin McDonald if you want to get into nursing, definitely AP Bio. Physics isn't too important, but it's nice to have an intro to it before college/university [watching videos or reading]. As the nurse said in the video, algebra is important, but again, like physics, it's nice to get an intro. In some states, they allow 15 yr. olds or 16 year olds to actually volunteer in hospitals, which looks extremely good. Good luck :]

Math is definitely hard, but its never impossible. The main thing for me is to make sure and ASK QUESTIONS when you want to know something or don't understand something. Always do any practice you can and go over what you learn. Math is just really difficult for some people, but as long as you learn basic facts and push yourself to make good grades, you'll be great. Good luck on that nursing dream 💜
